No, the organization that put that slideshow together concluded at the end of its investigation that the primary causes of the crash were the truck failing to yield properly and the Tesla driver not paying attention for a long time. Their only recommendation to Tesla was to make Autopilot nag drivers more strictly if it doesn't detect that they're paying attention, which Tesla followed. Another agency investigating the crash, the NHTSA, concluded that they could not find a safety risk with Autopilot, they could not find any defects warranting a recall, and they noted that in broad terms Autopilot appears to have increased driver safety.
